Just read this whole thread and I can share a lot of the impatience sentiment. I just got rid of my fourth gt-r in anticipation of this and think I have an 18 month wait ahead.
I was overjoyed to read that it would have twin turbos, mostly due to doing the maths on the peak power available. I'd be happy with 550bhp total stock power if the weight target of 1400kg is even close to being achieved. My GTR, despite ending up with 800 bhp was very quick at 530 standard weighing about 1750kg. Like for like I can see it will have the performance of the GT-R matched.
When you include the benefits of mid engine rear gearbox weight distribution, and a dry sump, you have the makings of great things, but the main thing I am convinced will redefine the handling standard is the torque vectoring. I know some people are anti 4wd, but I'm pretty sure this car is only 4wd for the torque vectoring purpose that independent electric motors on the front axle can produce. There's no other car ever that has had this layout and potential. None of the current performance hybrids has cross axle torque vectoring potential on power. I'm sure it's going to move the handling game on substantially.
My last hope, though it's not been suggested, is that the third motor in the rear will be used for a torque fill, like on the P1 to reduce any noticable turbo lag, I wonder if that's wishful thinking.
The ingredients for this car that have already been announced make it the best car I can see on the horizon. I can't wait, as well as the deposit I've even bought two UK number plates specifically for it.
and .. stop making stuff up ...:biggrin:
